  Save
• Ch 4. (First ch is foundation for first dc; next three ch replace first dc.)
• Yarn over, insert hook into the first chain, yarn over, pull up loop (three loops on hook).
• Yarn over, pull through first loop (creates mini-chain/foundation for next stitch).
• Yarn over, pull through two loops, yarn over, pull through last two loops (dc complete).
• Rep previous steps to create 65 dc, or desired width; keep in mind fancy stitch uses multiples of 6 + 5 for best results.
  Save

Tip: Count carefully and maintain even tension for a clean edge.

2. Ribbed Double Crochet Section

• Turn work.
• For first dc: Either false dc (pull up loop to dc height, yarn over, insert hook through back loop only of previous row st, yarn over, pull through, yarn over, pull through two, rep for next).
• Work 25 rows of dc, always taking the back loop only for a ribbed effect. End each row by working into back loop of turning ch.

D. Joining

6. Shoulder Join

  • Front panel: dc into group
  • Back panel: dc into same group
  • Rep for five groups; fasten off and weave in ends.
• Repeat for second shoulder.

Tip: Always align lace groups to maintain seamless join.

7. Side Seams

• With tapestry needle, sew side seams from marker to bottom edge, using mattress stitch, joining rib rows precisely.
• Fasten off, weave in ends.

Tip: Match rib row ridges for invisible seam.

Pattern Correction & Tips

Correction: If your stitch count does not align with the lace pattern, frog (undo) to the foundation row, ensure correct multiples of 6 + 5, and adjust.

Tips:

• Use stitch markers throughout for easier join and symmetry.
• Block finished panels for neat appearance.
• For a larger blouse, adjust the dc counts and number of rows; measure as you go.
